@Jye, all this purple nonsense has officially convinced my to paint up the elven blitz bowl team I've had kicking around in full Evangelion colors!
Yessss. I plan to do my Tau in Eva 02 colours when I finally stop interrupting them with random projects.
Elegance of Wrath, heavy support for the Third. It has already seen very hard fighting against the Orks, explaining its less than impeccable condition, where it has served more ably as cover and roadblock than gun platform.
(These things suck in small games
. They have too many varied guns on one chassis so at any given time it's hard to have good targets for all or even most of them and splitting fire for good effect is rough. The classic scenario is the enemy all being in transports, so even if you crack one open with the big guns it's too late to allocate shots to the passengers.
That being said it did great last night in a 100PL game where Eradicators and Dreads cracked one transport, allowing it to fire small and middle guns at the passengers while the big ones helped to crack the second)
Edit: as expected the Luxion Purple pooled and streaked on armour, more like a classic Contrast than Baal Red or Imperial Fist. It's not as bad IRL as in the photo so I'm content.
